Altitude Carbon 70New Color

A month ago I sold my german e-mtb and bought a second hand 2020 Altitude C70 27.5’. What a bike ! It’s incredibly efficient as a climber and gives you confidence when downhilling on single or large tracks. I’ve got a lot to discover riding this bike but everything seems to be easy to reach. I remember 25 years ago when I saw for the first time a Rocky Mountain in my small south of France bike dealer, I was « in love » (it was too expensive as I was a student), now I’ve got One and feel incredbly lucky !

There's something special about how the Altitude's rides. Whether I'm on familiar trails or new ones, the handling and the overall feel of the bike have continued to impress and surprise me in the two years I've ridden this generation of Altitude. My first ride was on a fairly rowdy trail that I'm very familiar with, and compared to other bikes I had ridden down the trail, the Altitude gave me a sense of poise and control that I didn't know was quite achievable. Not to mention the fact that every hole and speed-sapping feature on the trail seemed to disappear under the Altitude, and I've now adjusted to riding faster (and smoother!) than ever before because the bike casually generates speed and fluidity where there used to be none. It may be a bit much for your average trail ride or long-distance excursion on blue trails, but it's fun nonetheless because of its mild handling characteristics and comfortable geometry. I couldn't be happier and more impressed with what Rocky Mountain have done with the Altitude over the years, and I can't wait to see what they come up with in the future because this bike is going to be very hard to top.

I bought the alloy 70 29er. Love it. Climbs great descends amazing. I had trouble with the rear hub but my lbs quickly sorted it out and I got a new one. Loving the shimano I’ve ran sram for the last few years and switching over is refreshing. This bike is awesome highly recommend!!

I purchase this bike following a demo ride and this will be a game changer for me. This bike brought me confidence by going down the trails smoothly and making me want to go faster. Climbing was also nice and easy and way easier than my trail bike 27.5.

The only thing that could make this bike better is an electic motor, so I will buy the Powerplay version.
